Well done justice SN Dhingra

Justice SN Dhingra of Delhi High Court has once again established faith of media and civil society in justice-delivery-system when he rightly slammed Delhi Police for acting as ?His Masters Voice? by filing a charge-sheet against courageous journalists for their carrying out infamous ?cash-for query? sting involving corrupt Parliamentarians. Complete judgement with all praise for involved journalists should be a trend-setter in such cases filed to discourage journalists from exposing corruption in the system.

Present verdict by Justice SN Dhingra reminds of a Supreme Court bench headed by the then Chief Justice of India KG Balakrishnan seeking apology from Zee TV and journalists having carried out sting-operation to expose corruption in lower judiciary. Even that was a bold journalistic attempt to courageously expose corruption in lower judiciary through sting operation. However earlier, previous Chief Justice of India Justice RC Lahoti was visibly upset in the Court when the outcome of the sting exposing issue of non-bailable warrants against even the President and Chief Justice of India by an Indian court came to his notice.
